American energy technology company Itron disclosed a cyberattack in mid-April, reporting that hackers accessed some systems. In a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filing, Itron stated it was informed of the breach, expelled the hackers, and observed no further intrusions. The type of cyberattack remains unspecified, and the company has not detailed its impact on their systems. Itron found no unauthorized activity in customer-hosted systems, indicating the breach may be limited to its IT network. Law enforcement has been notified. Itron, based in Liberty Lake, WA, offers technology for managing water, gas, and electricity supplies, serving over 110 million entities globally. The company enacted contingency plans and backups, continuing operations but warned of potential further legal filings. The responsibility for cybersecurity within Itron remains unclear, and the company did not provide comments to TechCrunch.
